BALI, April 25 (AFP): Debris has been recovered from a missing Indonesian submarine, the country's navy said last on Saturday (April 24), suggesting that the stricken vessel could have broken apart after sinking with 53 crew aboard.

The development dashed already slim hopes of rescuing the sailors alive after their oxygen reserves were understood to have run out earlier in the day.
